Virtual - LGBTQ+ Book Club: Read "What If It's Us" *For 15-100

Monday, September 18, 2023

We are so pleased to be partnering with the Peabody Institute Library (Peabody, MA) and Parker Memorial Library (Dracut, MA) to bring this book club for the LGBTQ+ community! and allies! If you are between the ages of 15-100 (yes, really!) and would like to chat about books that celebrate LGBTQ+ lives, and to use books as a springboard to discuss the challenges, we hope you can join us. This month's book selection is "What If It's Us" by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. This book club will be facilitated by librarians from the LGBTQ+ community.

About the book:

Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together--or pulling them apart. ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it's that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn't be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend's things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them . . . ? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited. But what if they can't nail a first date even after three do-overs? What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn't try hard enough? What if life really isn't like a Broadway play? But what if it is? What if it's us?


You can order a copy of the book from our online catalog or we'll have several copies in the library if you'd like to come by and pick one up.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library,  Parker Memorial Library (Dracut) and the Peabody Institute Library (Peabody).
